From: Peter Geis <pgwipeout@xxxxxxxxx> RTC sometimes does not respond the first time in init. Try multiple times to get a response.

Peter Geis <pgwipeout@xxxxxxxxx>: I don't think this is an SoC issue since this is the first instance I've encountered it. Mind you we don't have the reset lines hooked up at all for the Rockchip i2c driver, so it's possible that's the case, but I'd imagine it would be observed more broadly if that was the case. I've tried pushing the timings out pretty far as well as bumping up the drive strength to no change. It seems to occur only with the hym rtc used on this board. I suspect it's a new variant of the hym that has slightly different behavior. --- drivers/rtc/rtc-hym8563.c | 11 +++++++++-- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/rtc/rtc-hym8563.c b/drivers/rtc/rtc-hym8563.c index cc710d682121..d9d0b6615a07 100644 --- a/drivers/rtc/rtc-hym8563.c +++ b/drivers/rtc/rtc-hym8563.c @@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ #include <linux/clk-provider.h> #include <linux/i2c.h> #include <linux/bcd.h> +#include <linux/delay.h> #include <linux/rtc.h> #define HYM8563_CTL1 0x00 @@ -438,10 +439,16 @@ static irqreturn_t hym8563_irq(int irq, void *dev_id) static int hym8563_init_device(struct i2c_client *client) { - int ret; + int ret, i; /* Clear stop flag if present */ - ret = i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(client, HYM8563_CTL1, 0); + for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) { + ret = i2c_smbus_write_byte_data(client, HYM8563_CTL1, 0); + if (ret == 0) + break; + msleep(20); + } + if (ret < 0) return ret; -- 2.34.1
